In 2024, British food and drink exports to the EU plummeted by more than a third compared to 2019, with total volumes falling to 6.37 billion kg. Despite ongoing demand for products like whisky and cheese, the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) highlights the impact of post-Brexit bureaucratic challenges as a significant factor. While exports have declined, imports hit a record high, indicating that EU produce remains crucial for the UK market. The FDF points out that smaller UK exporters are struggling more with compliance to stricter EU import regulations.
According to the Food and Drink Federation, British food and drink exports to the EU have dropped by 34% since Brexit, highlighting new bureaucratic challenges.
The trade body blames post-Brexit trading arrangements for the slump in UK exports, as total food and drink imports to the UK surged to their highest level.
